The second edition of the Perspectives on Pastoralism Film Festival was launched on 14–15 September 2022 at the Tropentag conference in Prague, Czech Republic. A sub-selection of the total films selected was compiled to match the Tropentag 2022 theme “Can agroecological farming feed the world? Farmers’ and academia’s views”. We aimed to highlight films that promoted awareness about pastoralism as a sustainable nature-based production system to show how pastoralism is a form of agroecology ideally suited for drylands and mountainous regions – and for the climatic and economic uncertainties of today. The films focused on ecologically appropriate use of natural resources, the rights of pastoralists to continue to use and steward these resources, and the challenges they face in doing so.
